Shoppers took breaks from the party and fashion shows inside to shop at the outdoor booths. I ran in to pals Dale and Jason. (Who would make an incredibly cute couple, but assured me they are not.)

Here I am with Susanna, my shopping buddy for the afternoon. The event even gave us the option of getting a massage to recover from all the activity. But we opted for Spanish lattes at Groundwork. (So good!) Check out my photoset for the rest of the pics.

Two crowd-favorites were "Don't Stop Believin' In Planet Rock" (Journey vs. Afrika Bambaataa) by A Plus D and "Paid For My Doorbell" (Eric B. & Rakim vs. White Stripes) by Party Ben. I might be biased, since these happen to be my favorites too, and I am listening to them even as I type this.

The line was so super long there was a 30 minute wait starting at midnight! Luckily, my friend Chandler, (aka Tauren from Luck Legendary) was already inside and got DJ Adrian and Mysterious D to intervene on my behalf. Next month they're moving it downstairs to The Echoplex which is much larger.

There were a lot more people in costume this time around. Not a requirement, but it sure makes things a lot more fun. So if you come next time, at least wear a bandanna. That last photograph, was one of my favorite moments, Chandler's friend, Manders, singing along to "Don't Stop Believing." She really is holding on to that feeling!
